About the job
Machinify is a healthcare intelligence platform deployed across 85+ health plans, serving over 270 million lives. We build AI-powered systems for payment integrity and audit solutions that optimize financial outcomes and reduce healthcare costs — processing hundreds of millions of documents and validating millions of claims annually. We are seeking a Software Architect to own the design and implementation of our intelligent document processing and agentic evaluation framework. This is a hands-on, Senior Staff-level technical leadership role responsible for setting the architectural direction for how our platform ingests, understands, and reasons over complex healthcare documents at scale. This role requires both architectural vision and strong implementation skills. You will design the APIs, abstractions, and frameworks that power agentic case analysis — and build them alongside a team of experienced engineers.
Responsibilities
- Own the architecture of Machinify's intelligent document processing platform and agentic evaluation framework, from API design to implementation.
- Design abstractions and interfaces that enable agentic workflows to reason over medical records, claims data, and unstructured healthcare documents.
- Define boundaries between orchestration, retrieval, LLM interaction, and domain logic to create a scalable and principled framework.
- Write performant production code and lead through implementation.
- Make foundational technology decisions regarding prompt architecture, multi-modal LLM integration, RAG patterns, and workflow orchestration.
- Drive reliability and observability into AI systems operating at healthcare-grade standards.
- Collaborate with Data Science, Data Engineering, and Product teams to translate domain requirements into system design.
- Reduce technical debt and establish scalable architectural patterns.
- Mentor engineers on system design, API design, and building production-grade AI systems.
Requirements
- 10+ years of software engineering experience with a proven track record of owning system architecture at scale.
- Experience with Python & Scala/Java, including designing Python-based frameworks and writing idiomatic APIs.
- Demonstrated ability to design effective abstractions and draw boundaries in complex systems.
- Experience architecting agentic or multi-step reasoning systems that integrate LLMs into production workflows.
- Strong background in designing large-scale systems that process unstructured data (documents, medical records, images).
- Deep understanding of API design principles and building platforms for other engineers.
- Proven ability to productionize AI/ML systems with a focus on reliability, observability, and maintainability.
- Strong experience designing with system performance and scaling trade-offs in mind.
- Strong CS fundamentals (data structures, distributed systems, asynchronous programming).
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
Benefits
- Work from anywhere in the US
